Tractor accident sends man to London hospital

Grey County OPP said an 80-year-old man involved in a tractor mishap Tuesday was in stable condition Thursday.

About 3:30 p.m. Tuesday police, paramedics and Meaford firefighters responded to a report of a man pinned by a tractor on Sideroad 7. He'd dismounted from the tractor at the end of the lane but his brake was not engaged, police said in a news release.

The old Massey Ferguson, Model 35 tractor “rolled forward, striking the victim who fell beneath the rear tire.” He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and then was transferred to a London hospital where he was reported to be in stable condition Thursday, police said.
